Questions To Ask Your Wedding Photographer
With so many wedding tasks, choosing the right wedding photography can seem like the most difficult. Not only are the pictures usually your sole documentation of the event, but they are something you will want to proudly display and pass down to your children.
There are many concerns you may have when selecting a wedding photographer. First, you should like the style and displayed pictures that you've seen from that photographer. Next, you need a photographer that can also fit within your budget. If you are in love with a certain photographer's work but they won't budge on the price, you'll have to cut costs somewhere else.
Finally, one of the most important aspects you may not have thought of is the relationship and chemistry you have with your photographer. You should feel comfortable around your photographer so that your true emotions will be able to easily be captured on your wedding day. Evaluate your photographer's personality, work style, and other items by asking the following questions in the face to face interview.
- Have you had a disaster wedding or mishaps? How did you handle them?
- How do you handle when guests aren't being cooperative? What if others are taking pictures while you're working?
- Am I guaranteed to have you as the sole photographer for my wedding or are there other photographers in the company who may cover my wedding?
- Are these albums all your work or other photographers' work?
- Can I see recent work or more wedding albums?
- What types of wedding style photography do you do?
- What type of equipment and film do you use?
- Do you offer touchups, hand coloring, digital coloring, or any other services? Do these services cost extra?
- Do you offer full day coverage or is there an extra fee for this?
- Can you travel to more than one or two locations or is there an extra fee? What is the farthest you are willing to travel without extra fees?
- Do your packages include one or two photographers or do you work with an assistant? Is there an extra fee if I request another photographer or assistant?
- Do you have clients or references that I can talk to about their experiences?
- Can you come early to the ceremony to get extra shots? Does this cost extra?
- Do you offer a CD or DVD of the images? Is this in the package or does it cost extra?
- Can you customize a package for me or lower the price without taking anything out?
- How much are reprints?
- How long should I expect to wait until I receive my pictures?
- What kind of albums do you offer?
Before you finalize any contract, carefully read everything that is written in it. Be sure everything you discussed and want is in the contract, or you won't be guaranteed to receive it. Pay attention to the time constraints, travel, and other items in the package so you know what to expect. Overestimate the time period needed because of travel requirements or if you're running late. This will take away some of the worry so you can enjoy the big day.
Overall, as long as you like the photographer's style, price, and personality (professionalism), your wedding pictures should turn out beautifully.
